Ingredients
6 cups fresh broccoli florets, roughly chopped
1 cup raisins
1 medium red onion, peeled and diced fine
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning food preparation.
If preparing the optional bacon, cook it until the edges are golden and crispy, then remove from heat, let cool slightly, and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, raisins, diced red onion, sugar, lemon juice, and mayonnaise.
Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing and well combined. If using bacon, fold it in gently.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to blend and the salad to chill.
Before serving, stir again if needed and transfer to a serving bowl or plate.
